At least a mediocre one. Watching the organization flop around like a fish on a hook, firing off reactionary punishment to anyone within their scope of vision is starting to get embarrassing. This is worth discussing. So, too, is the idea that someone other than the DCI CEO (i.e. compliance officer, ombudsman, or third-party mediator) should be handling ethics complaints and their enforcement. Before Arsenal became news here, it was still clear that the DCI CEO is strongly incentivized to sweep past complaints under the rug, and stamp out future complaints by punishing current complaints as if they are capital offenses. Or do we need both a PR person and an ethics officer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do we need both a PR person and an ethics officer? Now that you mention it... what training does DA or other DCI heads have in harrasment/ethics issues and how to handle them? Uncle Sam has yearly training on it for employees and extra training for management on how to handle it properly. Was any training taken by DCI heads or ye olde “yeah yeah we got it handled” until crap hits the fan again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timeline and communications in the Arsenal fiasco suggest otherwise.

Nice credibility issue if someone or their parents googled drum corps. “Hey they said no doing corps.. so what’s this all age they neglected to mention. What else are they not telling us “ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
